Immunizations

In order to keep all of our children, and families safe, it is our policy here at Lone Tree Pediatrics that each family vaccinate according to the schedule set by the American Academy of Pediatrics. If vaccinations are not something you and your family choose to participate in, we as a practice would prefer you find another provider that best suits your wishes and needs. Please contact us if you have additional questions at (303) 803-1005.

The following schedule is the Lone Tree Pediatric vaccine schedule.
